Crimson Tears Chapter 1: Default Chapter, a weiss kreuz fanfic

Tears of Crimson

Everyone thinks they've had it hard in life. For one girl it was ten times worse. She walked through the pouring rain down the small street that was now empty. Her back wounds were still bleeding and she was now numb to the pain. How could everything go so up hill then suddenly everything went down hill? Her shoulder length blood red hair was sticking to her neck and some on her face. Her dark blue eye's focused on the road ahead. If she could make it just a bit farther.....

~*~

The sun shone through her window making the nineteen year old roll over in her sleep. There was no way she wanted to get up. Her shoulder length blood red hair was all tangled and knotted. "Amber Lynn!" Her father called. "Amber Lynn get up!" he demanded.

"I'm up!" She shouted. "Jesus dad it's Saturday!" she shouted. "Let me sleep!"

"Amber-Lynn you get up now! You're supposed to go to work!" He shouted.

"Shit." She cursed and got up, quickly put her hair in a pony tail, and then grabbed a black tank top that went just above her belly button, and a pair of blue jeans with a whole in the knee.

Amber dashed down the stairs to see a laughing father at the kitchen table. "Jerk." She mumbled and grabbed her plate of food.

"Well it got you up didn't it? Besides you work later helping out at the flower shop."

"I know I know!" Amber mumbled and ate her food. She had been working with Aya, Yohji, Omi, and Ken for the past three months and she had been realizing that they aren't what all the girls made them out to be.

(Amber's POV)

I sat there eating my breakfast thinking about the past three months. Ever since my father cut me out of the assassin gig I've been working at the flower shop. There were all hotties but...they were each different. First off there was Aya. He was hot. With that dark red hair and those violet eye's. They reminded me of my brother's before he died. He was always so serious and quiet. Then there was Yohji. My God was he ever the ladies man. Has shoulder length dirty blond hair and his green eye's seemed to make all the girls faint. It never worked on me though. Then Omi. He's pretty cool. Light brown hair and dark blue eye's. He's a real sweety and cares about his friends. Last is Ken. Really dark brown hair and wonderful green eye's you could get lost in. Oops sorry. Great I caught myself day dreaming about him again. Yes I have a huge crush on Ken. I can't help it.

I sigh and begin to clean up the house. My dad chuckles and goes into the living room to watch TV. Sorry to say I have no mother. Never had one since I was five. I only knew my brother George and my father. My father was getting old and he was getting to the point that I would have to take over for him. Since we already came from a pretty rich family I already graduated at university level with at least two of each degrees. That's what you needed to be an assassin from where I used to live. A long sigh escaped my lips as I did the dishes. What would my life be like if mom and George were still here? Suddenly the phone rang, I quickly dried my hands and picked up. "Hello?"

"Is Amber there?" Came an odd accented voice. Sounded like a french one.

"Speaking. Who is this?" I asked as I continued with the dishes.

"Amber....look I can't explain please meet me in the Starlight café tonight. Tell the bouncer you're with George De Sand." He stated and hung up.

"Hello! Hello!" I demanded.

"Who was it honey?" My father asked.

"I dunno dad. Some creep nothing to worry about." I stated with a smile. "After I'm done the dishes I'm going to go to the flower shop and talk to the guys okay?"

"Alright but don't wear that. You make it look like we're on welfare." He chuckled and went back into the living room.

Slowly I put everything away still focused on that strange voice. Slowly I crept up the stairs to my room and grabbed different clothes. I didn't realize what I was wearing till I looked in the mirror. "Oh God...." I whispered. The black mini skirt that went at least an inch or three up from my knee's and the blood red tank top with a black dragon around the front of it. My old uniform. Shaking my head I grabbed my old leather jacket and ran down the stairs grabbing my key's. "I'll be home after work!" I shouted and put on my old just above my ankle hooker boots. Or as my dad told me.

"Have fun!" He shouted.

"I will!" I yelled and left the house.

(Out of Amber's POV)

She walked down the street and shivered a bit. She wasn't used to the skirt anymore. It showed she would have training to do. Just like old times. Once in awhile Amber's mind would drift to back then when she was running after someone she had to get and how the adrenalin was going through her body. She walked passed a store and decided to surprise the boys with a shocker. She went in and walked over to the sun glasses rack. She picked out a pair and then went over to the necklaces and purses. She was going to shock them. Amber had always said. There is no way in hell I'll ever dress the way that snob did back home! She smiled. She may have been going against her own word but still. It was just for fun.

Amber ended up buying a black leather purse, dark sunglass', and a fake but beautiful ruby rose pendent outlined in silver. She smiled as she came upon the flower shop. Putting on her sunglasses she entered. The small bell rang and Yohji walked out wearing the apron a green t-shirt and regular black pants. "Hello miss can I...help you?" He asked as his eye's trailed up her body.

"Actually yes." She smiled and used that french accent her father taught her. "I was wondering do you have any red and white roses. I'd like to pick some up for my friends birthday." Hey she wasn't telling a total lie. Cleo's birthday was coming up.

"I think we have some left in the back please give me just a second." He gulped and went into the back where no doubt the others were. Unfortunately she was wrong because Omi and Aya walked in and Omi stopped in shock.

"Hello miss. Is someone helping you?" Aya asked un phased by her appearance. Typical Aya not having an opinion.

"Why yes. Someone is." Amber replied with that wonderful accent.

"Alright." Was all Aya replied with as he and Omi went into the back.

Amber sighed and walked over to a bunch of flowers and sniffed a few. They sure did smell nice. Amber never took the time to smell the flowers. "Miss how many did you want?" Yohji asked coming back out.

"About a dozen. So six red six white please." Amber smiled politely. *Still go it!* her mind screamed.

"Okay." He smiled as Ken came out. "Hey Ken six red roses and six white."

"Kay. did you want them trimmed of their thorns miss?" He asked blushing.

"Ye...actually only trim the white if you don't mind." She did a small bow and caused both Ken and Yohji to blush. Suddenly she began to laugh. "You guys are so pathetic." She stated taking off her glasses.

"AMBER!?" Both boy's shouted in shock as Aya and Omi ran in.

"Oh boy...Amber what happened to you?" Omi asked.

"Easy I found some old clothes lying around." She winked and spun around. "Do you guys like it?"

"Well it's certainly different." Ken stated.

"No kidding but still...what made you wanna dress like this?" Omi asked.

"A phone call." She sighed.

"A threat?" Yohji asked.

"No. Just a call. Nothing to worry about really." She smiled and went over to Yohji. "So I'm nothing but a tomboy who couldn't act like a lady huh?" She stated poking his chest.

"Well I uh....um..." He was at a loss for words.

"It's okay. You should have seen the look on your face though." Amber just about burst out laughing again until a guy about twenty year's old walked in.

Amber tilted her head. His hair was like blackish brown and semi spiked with a red bandana tied around his forehead, he had a tight black t-shirt, and a pair of baggy jeans. Amber noticed that his shirt was so tight it didn't hide much of his muscles. "Can we help you?" Aya asked.

"Yeah I'm here to pick up an arrangement for my friend." He stated and looked over to Amber with a stern look.

"Who would that be?" Yohji asked absolutely astonished that someone besides Ken could make Amber blush.

"George De Sand asked me to pick up a bouquet of flowers since he was meeting someone tonight." He said lazily.

"Oh yes. Domon Kasshu I presume then?"

"Yes that's me." Domon sighed. He looked over at Amber and looked her over.

Unconsciously Ken snorted and went into the back. Omi and Aya followed leaving Yohji, Amber and Domon to talk a bit. "I don't like that guy." Ken said.

"Get over it." Aya ordered. "Here's his bouquet." he stated and handed it to Ken.

"Fine." Was all he could reply with as he went back out and saw Yohji trimming the white roses and Amber watching. Domon was just looking around at all the flowers. "Here you go." Ken stated to Domon.

"Thank you. Here." Domon handed him the money. "Keep the change." He stated and left.

(Amber's POV)

Who was that guy? How did he know about my meeting with George De Sand? I have to follow him I need answers. Wait! What if it's someone trying to make me become an assassin again. I could break my father's heart and promise. "You alright?" Yohji asked going up to me and putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah. Why do you ask?" I smiled lightly.

"Because you look confused." Ken stated.

"I'm fine. Look I have to go home and change I'll see you guys later." I stated and ran out of the shop and after Domon. He know's something! I remember! My brother's nick name was De Sand. He was alive! I stopped and stood for a moment. All I could see was my brother's unruly orange hair and his violet eye's. I could feel the tears stream down my face. I had to get home before I showed to much emotion in public.

I ran as fast as I could just so I wouldn't have to see anyone watch me cry. Quickly I ran into the house and up the stairs into my room. I locked the door and threw myself onto the bed. How could he do this!? Pretend to be dead for so long and then suddenly show up. God I hated him. I hated him so much I got an idea. Wiping my tears away and getting changed into my usual blue jeans and a black or red t-shirt sat down at my computer desk and began to type on my lab top. Quickly I hacked into the French Government files I had to find out if he worked for them. Scrolling down I saw the new Princess of that Nation. Princess Marie Louis and right beside her in what was the national knight clothing was my brother. At the side it said. George De Sand now known as the famous Rose fencer who became a knight and is now protecting Princess Marie Louise. That bastard that fucking bastard! Was all the was running through my head. Suddenly the phone rang. "Hello?" I mumbled trying to keep my cool.

"Hey Amber this is Ken. You alright?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm fine." I stated kinda coldly. I couldn't believe he was calling me! At this moment when I thought I was going to kill someone.

"No you're not. You sound like you're hurt or something." He stated. So what? Why should he start giving a shit now? So what if I was hurting on the inside.

"Look I'm fine. I don't work for another two hour's so I'll see you then." I stated and hung up before he could say anything.

(Out of Amber's POV)

~Flower shop~

Ken put down the phone. How could Amber say that to him? He felt his insides heat up when he thought about her in that skirt. Still how could she even think about lying!? It cut him deep when she thought she couldn't trust him. "What she say?" Omi asked.

"She said she was fine. Although she sounded so....so....cold when she said it. Like her feelings weren't there anymore." He sighed.

"Doesn't sound like her." Yohji mumbled.

"I know." Ken said through his clenched teeth. "Damn it why doesn't she trust us!?" He demanded.

"Because she doesn't have many reasons to." Aya spoke up. "She's known us what?"

"Three months." Yohji stated.

"Would you trust anyone after three months?" he asked.

"Probably not." Omi sighed. "But still....Amber's one of our best friends. She's the closest girl we've ever let into our lives remember? At least since we started to do this right?"

"He's got a point." Ken sighed.

"Point about what?" Yohji questioned as he put down a heavy pot of flowers.

"That Amber is the only one who has seen us leave all at the same time saying we have to leave for a bit to do something...."

"Do you think she know's Aya?" Ken asked.

"No I don't think she knows..." He trailed.

"That you're all Weiss. Assassins." Amber stated walking in wearing her normal attire.

It was almost a dead silence until Yohji chuckled. "What ever gave you that idea?" He asked.

"I'm not stupid and I ain't just born yesterday. I know you guys are Weiss Kruze. God you guys are pathetic. Anyone who used to be in same business as you could tell from a mile away." Amber stated as she leaned against the door and crossed her arms.

" Very funny Amber." Ken chuckled. "What kinda business are you talk..."

"Look I know who you guys are. Okay? I was in the Knights (An: pronounced Ka-nights)

group. Until my father pulled me out." She stated. "Now I came to ask if I could start work early since I have something important to do tonight."

"Yes." Aya stated and took off the apron handing to Amber then leaving.

~After Amber's shift~

As soon as Amber left Yohji began to close the shop but he saw a pair of shoes and smiled. "I know those shoes anywhere. Manx." He smiled and lifted the shops metal door.

"I'm glad you can tell that from my shoes....Where's Aya?" She asked.

"Right here." He replied and walked in through the back.

"Good. I have another mission for you guys. Unfortunately Persia won't be able to give you it today so I will." She smiled tossing her red hair back and her green eyes shining happily. "There are new men in town and they're kidnaping girls who used to work for assassins all over the world. The group is called Fangs. There are four members. George de Sand, Domon Kasshu, Chibodee Crockett , and Kyoji Kasshu the head of the group. We don't have much info on them....."

"We'll take it." Ken stated.

"All of us." Yohji and Aya nodded.

"Yup we'll stop em." Omi smiled.

"Good luck boys." Manx smiled.

~Amber's home~

(Amber's POV)

I walked into the living room and saw my father sleeping peacefully on the couch. Looking at the clock I sighed and remembered I had another five hours to go till that unfortunate meeting. "I'll get my revenge." I found myself whispering. That was it. He pretended to be dead now I would kill him for all the pain and suffering he put me and my father through. I made some sandwiches and left some on the counter then took some and a glass of milk up to my room. I had research to do. I sat at my computer typing away at Government files. It was pissing me off like no one could understand. Taking a bite out of my sandwich I had found something, it was about Domon Kasshu and his brother Kyoji. So they were the ones who started the Gundam projects that went wrong. The Devil Gundam and the Shining Gundam both exploded with them inside and they had mysteriously disappeared.

"Oh no..." I whispered. I knew why the Gundams blew up. My team had snuck into their lab a week before the test run and killed off the only piolets. That's why he looked at me today at the shop. It was a trap. My own brother was leading me into a trap. "That does it!" I shouted and looked around. First things first. Planning.

~Starlight Café~

Domon sat at the small table across from George. Beside him sat Chibodee. His navy blue hair and pink (an:Yes pink sorry to say) bangs were being hidden under his hat and his emerald green eye's lazily looked around him. Beside Chibodee was Kyoji Kasshu the head leader of the group. He had dark brown almost black hair that was almost like his younger brother and his blue eye's shone with a hint of revenge. "So you know the plan George." Kyoji questioned.

"Yes. As long as the others do not get in the way." he sighed.

"Look it's only your sister dude. She won't figure out that you're really just in this for money. Besides you don't even have to kill her this time. Remember? Domon's gonna do it." Chibodee yawned.

"Yes I know...." George trailed.

"Look you can't back out now." Domon Growled. "We've come to far and have waited to long."

~Later that Night~

"Do you think that was the same guy at the shop this morning?" Ken asked as he grabbed his Tiger Claw.

"I bet you any money. Hey Omi find any trace of that guy?" Yohji asked.

"Him and his gang are in the Starlight café." Omi stated as the phone rang.

"Hello?" Ken asked as he picked it up.

"Ken..." Came Amber's voice.

"Amber where are you?" He asked.

"I'm outside the Starlight Café. Look don't worry about the gang. I'll take em."

"Amber no! Don't go in there!" He shouted.

"Look my brothers in there and he's going to get something that's coming to him okay! I don't want you guys going in there." He could tell she was holding back tears.

"Please just don't go in." He begged.

"I have to. He pretended to be dead he pretended and left me and my father to suffer that bastard's gotta pay." He heard her state then hang up.

"Amber...Amber! AMBER!" He shouted into the phone. "Damn it!"

"What did she say?" Aya asked calmly.

"She's meeting her brother at the café. She's going to kill him....he's part of the gang." He mumbled.

"Uh oh. What are we going to do?" Omi asked.

"She wanted us to stay out of it. Said she'd take care of the gang." Ken growled.

"Look we have to go anyway. Weather she likes it or not." Yohji nodded.

"Maybe we should leave her be." Aya spoke up.

"WHAT!? And let her get herself killed!?" Ken shouted.

"Look she apparently can handle it." Yohji stated.

"We still have to go in." Omi stated. "We took the mission."

"But without knowing!" Yohji shouted. "We could miss and hit her."

"Then we don't miss." Ken stated.

~Starlight Café~

Amber tugged at her tight leather mini skirt and her black tube top under her leather jacket. Some how she had hidden a gun and a dagger in her attire. Slowly she went up to the door and cut into the line. "I'm here to see George de Sand." She said.

"Alright." The bouncer stated letting her in.

She slowly made her way into the crowded bar/dance club. It had been so long since she had last been here. Amber saw where George was sitting and walked up the spiral stairs getting many glaces from the males. When she reached the top she could feel every memory of her brother rush through her. When she first learned how to ride a bike....when she fell off and how he helped her get through the pain how when her mother died he held her close and said everything would be alright. Lastly that day she thought what was his body was buried into the ground. The young man stood up and walked over to her. His orange hair was still the same as she remember. When he embraced her she made no move to hug him she stood still and stiff. "Amber so much time has passed. Do you not remember your own brother?" He asked.

"Unfortunately....I do." She stated coldly. "I ain't the sweet little girl you left behind dear brother." Amber held back her emotions.

"Amber look I had to. I had to pretend to be dead to protect you and father." George stated.

"I don't care!" She shouted the loud music making it so no one but them could hear this conversation. "You pretended to be dead when we needed you most!" She choked. "Dad's almost dead and he's lost so much. I don't know what he'd do if he found out you lied!"

"Amber! Listen to me....." He tried to explain but soon had a gun pointed to him.

"No you listen! You listen loud and clear! Stay DEAD!" She screamed.

Suddenly the whole place went black and Amber was grabbed from behind. She tried to get out of the grip and scream but she couldn't. She recognized the sent of something near by. Not behind her mind you but near by. Ken. She thought. Why hadn't she listened? Why hadn't she does what she was told? All her hope of getting revenge was gone until she remembered the dagger. Quickly she took it out and slit the man who held her. He shouted in pain it was Domon she recognized his voice. Amber ran and grabbed her gun from off the floor. Her eye's had adjusted quickly to the dark. She caught site of her brother going out the fire escape. She went down and after him. Firing a shot or two on the way down.

~Meanwhile~

Ken went over to Domon's body and sliced it. Now where did she go!? "Guys I lost her." He stated.

"Don't worry Ken. She's chasing after her brother. Heading for the park." Omi stated.

"Can you guys handle things here?" he asked.

"Yeah no prob. Just go keep the brat safe." Aya ordered.

"Right." Ken stated and was gone.

~The Park~

She'd find that bastard if it was the last thing she would do. Amber wanted him dead. The adrenaline was pumping through her system. She jumped over the edge and caught a glimpse of George. She fired two shots and heard him shout in agony. Yes he finally felt some pain and she did it. "Geroge just come out! Make it easier on yourself!" She shouted.

"Make it easier on yourself!" Kyoji shouted and slashed her back.

"Ah!" She screamed as the blood trickled down her back. "Die!" She shouted and got him with the dagger. Kyoji fell with a sickening thud. Slowly Amber stood and ignored the pain in her back. "I have to find Ken...." She whimpered.

~Some where in the park~

Ken stumbled over rocks and waste baskets. "Amber!" He yelled out. "Amber where are you!?" He demanded. No answer. "Amber!" He continued to shout. "Damn it where are you!?" He collapsed onto the ground when it stated to rain. "Amber!!" He shouted out one last time. "God damn it why didn't you listen?" he asked on the brink of tears.

"We have to head back." Omi said walking up.

"Not until I find her." Ken growled.

"Orders are orders." Omi sighed. "We have to."

~Somewhere~

"To bad." Chibodee stated and appeared in front of her.

~Flower shop~

Ken ran in with Omi beside him. Aya and Yohji stood then looked at Ken. "Any luck?" Yohji asked.

"None." Omi said.

"Guys only one of those members are left alive and he...." Manx trailed as she hung up her cell. How could she tell them. "Guys Chibodee...had...." She couldn't do it. She knew Amber when her and her father moved here under police protection.

"Manx....what is it?" Yohji asked.

"Amber's been...." She was shaking now. "Chibodee stabbed her a few blocks from here. She was found by an old man who called the police. She's in the hospital."

"Amber-chan...." Omi mumbled.

"Where's Chibodee?" Ken demanded.

"Going to the airport. That's all we know." Manx stated.

"Ken don't....we can't do anything...." Yohji was stopped as Ken ran out.

~Air port~

Chibodee yawned as he waited for his flight in the VIP room. A smirk went across his lips as George came in with his ribs and foot bandaged and his crutches beside him. "So you killed her." George mumbled.

"Yes. She ended up killing Domon and Kyoji." Chibodee stated.

"I see...." He whispered and looked out onto the airport and how the rain poured.

*~*

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

*~*

George sat down. Their flight to Northern Canada was delayed. He started to think about something he hadn't in a long time. His past. He remembered his mother and her shoulder length brown hair and her deep blue eye's. Then remembered when his sister was born. How she laughed and smiled. Then when he taught her everything he knew about riding a bike and helped her with her homework. Then that day he had orders to fake his death and to never tell his family.

*~*

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

*~*

He let out a sigh when suddenly the lights went out. "What the hell!" Shouted Chibodee. George grabbed his crutches and listened around. He couldn't tell where the person in the room was. He knew Chibodee was right beside him until. "AH!" A blood cuddling shout was heard.

"Amber is that you!?" George asked almost praying it was her.

"No. She's in the hospital while you'll finally stay in your grave." Came a deep voice.

*~*

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

*~*

"Wait!" George demanded. "Please wait...." He pleaded.

"Why should I?" Ken questioned. "You let him kill your sister!" He shouted.

"Please just...do me a favor. When you go to see my sister tell he I never meant to hurt our father. I just never wanted them to be caught up in this who assassin thing."

"Well they did. Because of you her father has to suffer." Ken stated and slashed George.

~Hospital~

Yohji put a small pot of red and white roses on the small sill by her window. Amber was lying in the bed with her eye's still closed and the tubes still in her. Aya sat in a corner watching her with a worried expression for once he showed. Then there was Omi who kept stroking her face praying silently she would wake up. Suddenly Ken ran in. "How is she?" He demanded. The other males turned away as Omi spoke up.

"The doctor wasn't sure if she'd make it." Omi mumbled.

"Amber...."He whispered.

"We've gotta go close the shop." Aya sighed.

"We'll come straight back." Omi and Yohji stated as they left.

Ken sat down on the bed and held Amber's one good hand. He watched as her eye twitched a bit. He prayed she be alright. "Amber I'm sorry." He whispered. Her hand seemed to tighten a bit.

"You finished what I started." She mumbled as her eye's barely opened. "Thank you." Amber had never smiled so kindly to anyone before.

"Amber don't die please don't." He begged.

"Ken...." Amber's eye's widened out of shock.

(Amber's POV)

I knew I was dying I wasn't that stupid, but the way Ken was looking at me. How could I give up the fight for my life? "Ken....." I trailed as I felt some tears fill my eye's. "Ken please don't...." I was cut off. I couldn't finish my sentence. For the first time in my life I was kissed. My eye's slowly closed and with my one good arm I wrapped it around his neck. Tears were falling like a waterfall. I knew my time was limited. We parted and I could see he was on the verge of tears. "I'm sorry. I should have listened." I stated just above a whisper.

"Amber...you didn't know." He stated.

"Yes I did. The phone call I told you guys about was from George." Slowly I put my other arm around him and cried as he sat down close to me. "I'm so sorry."

"It's okay. You're going to make it I know you will." He stated.

"No. No I'm not." I mumbled. "I'm dying I lost to much blood. Look....even if I did make it I would have to become an assassin again and most likely move back to my old home town." I coughed and laid back down weakly. "Say bye to the others for me."

(Out of Amber's POV)

She laid there with her hand in his and a small smile on her face as her father ran in.

~To be continued.~
